 Other blobs
 ===========
 
-The TCS2/TCS3 hybrid firmware is built almost entirely from source; the only
-components which are linked in the form of prebuilt libraries are GPF, Nucleus
-and the TMS470 compiler's equivalent of libc/libgcc.  It needs to be noted that
-these components are so stable and configuration-independent that they were
-used mostly in prebuilt library form even inside TI.  In the case of GPF we've
-got the corresponding source for most of the modules within those libs; for the
-few modules for which the original source has been lost (OSL and OSX), we have
-a reconstructed source and one can build a Magnetite config (hybrid-gpf) that
-uses these reconstructed versions of OSL and OSX instead of the blobs, but we
-are not 100% confident in the quality of this reconstruction, hence this
-hybrid-gpf config is currently considered experimental, not production.  In the
-case of Nucleus we likewise have another version of it in full source form
-which has been proven good in other FreeCalypso firmware projects, but it is
-not used in Magnetite.
+Our TCS2/TCS3 hybrid firmware is built almost entirely from source; the only
+components which are linked in the form of prebuilt objects or libraries are
+certain glue components in GPF (specifically OSL and OSX), the Nucleus PLUS RTOS
+and the TMS470 compiler's equivalent of libc/libgcc.  In the case of Nucleus we
+have another version of it in full source form, but switching to a different
+version of Nucleus is outside the scope of FC Magnetite - see the next section.
+In the case of OSL and OSX, we have a reconstructed source and one can build a
+Magnetite config (hybrid-osl) that uses these reconstructed versions of OSL and
+OSX instead of the blobs, but we are not 100% confident in the quality of this
